In addition to the financial benefit of scholarships, it’s money you never have to worry about paying back, there are also intangible benefits. Earning scholarships looks good on a college application and can be a great way to help set you apart from other applicants. Since many scholarships are performance based, they can also be a powerful motivator to maintain good grades, which can be beneficial when applying for jobs and internships later in your college career.

Scholarships are awarded based on a wide range of reasons, including being a twin or being exceptionally tall. At Great Plains Communications, most of our scholarships encourage students to stay committed to our communities or have an interest in telecommunications or agricultural fields. Since we understand how popular and convenient online classes are, we also have scholarships just for distance learners.

In 2011, Great Plains Communications is offering up to $21,500 in scholarships through as many as 15 awards for a variety of learning styles including:

On-line/Distance learning

Technical institutes

Four year universities

And more
